DTRA A&AS S&T SME Services RFP Draft

The objective of this requirement is to acquire Advisory & Assistance Support (A&AS) expertise
for the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) in support of the Research and Development
(RD) Directorate which requires technical and scientific expertise across the CBRNE and
improvised threat spectrum and in countering weapons of mass destruction (CWMD), countering
improvised threats (C-IT) and countering improvised threat networks (CTN) in support of the RD
objectives.

The RD organization has a far-ranging scope in the types of roles, missions, functions, operations, and tasks it supports. This acquisition requires dedicated and unbiased A&AS support to act as a “trusted agent” for the agency both internally and externally in the course of daily execution of specified and implied missions. This requires close coordination within RD to effectively execute its programs, as well as across the agency’s Directorates. RD efforts are generally organized within six elements:
• RD Research & Development Front Office (RD-FO),
• Chemical and Biological Technologies Department (RD-CB).
• Counter Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) Technologies Department (RD-CX),
• Enabling Capabilities Department (RD-EC),
• Threat Technologies, Department (RD-TT),
• Nuclear Technologies Department (RD-NT)
This Performance Work Statement (PWS) includes general support to DTRA. DTRA enables USSOCOM, as the Unified Command CWMD Coordinator, the DoD, the U.S. Government, and International Partners to counter and deter weapons of mass destruction, improvised threats and improvised threat networks.
